Ive dropped rental services, and am just buying a couple every week that are the lowest priced in my Wish List, when I am ready to buy. I've cut back on what Im willing to watch, even the wife has gotten picky. We have always been big movie people, and I think we have hit a point where it's only gonna get our time if it's potentially good.
I dont buy anything now without reading the blu-ray.com/HDD reviews, as well as the AVS reviews and the reviews here and other threads like it. After the first few on Tinker, I marked it off the list.
